This is a unique event, planned to coincide with Senior Week, which  brings together students, professionals, members of the local community, and other interested individuals to think about the role of organizations in creating social impact.  Participants will be able to learn from distinguished practitioners and scholars working on the issue of social impact, as well as from students and community members who are working to make the world a better place, including participants in Wheaton’s Social Entrepreneurship Launch Program.
